December Update From The Front Lines

Dear John,

As 2024 comes to a close, Sea Shepherd’s fleet is hard at work on the front lines of ocean conservation. Just days ago, the Seahorse pulled another massive illegal net from the waters of the Vaquita Refuge—one more deadly trap removed, saving countless marine lives. With its advanced crane system and proven track record, the Seahorse has set a new standard for direct-action operations.

But we’re not stopping there. In the shipyard, the Bob Barker is undergoing a major transformation to match the capabilities of the Seahorse. With upgrades to its crane, cutting-edge technology, and onboard systems, the Bob Barker will soon expand our proven model of ocean conservation into new areas, increasing our ability to intercept poachers and defend marine ecosystems worldwide.

Meanwhile, the iconic Martin Sheen sailboat is being restored to promise many more years of service on the front lines. This unique vessel plays a vital role in research and outreach missions, carrying Sea Shepherd’s message of ocean protection to remote areas around the globe.

These victories—and the ones still to come—are powered by supporters like you. Right now, your gift can go three times as far through our Winter Matching Gift Challenge. Every dollar you donate will be tripled to help us remove deadly nets, protect marine species, and keep poachers out of critical habitats.

With these victories, we’re closing out 2024 on a high note—and getting ready for even bigger challenges in 2025, including our return to Antarctica. But we need your help to finish the year strong. Through December 31, your gift can go three times as far. Every $1 you donate unlocks $2 more, turning it into $3 for the oceans during our $750,000 Matching Gift Challenge.

We deeply appreciate everyone who has already contributed to this and other crucial efforts. Your support drives our ability to safeguard marine life and their habitats. If you've already made a gift, we invite you to spread the word about this Matching Gift Challenge with your loved ones. Together, we can inspire more people to take action for the oceans and help us achieve our goal by December 31.

Your steadfast support ensures our ships, crews, and campaigns can continue protecting marine life. Let’s close out the year together and make an even greater impact in the year ahead.

Thank you for standing with us,

The Captains, Crews, and Staff
